Hi everyone! I have just ordered a months worth of shakes & am hoping 2 start on the 27th if they have arrived by then. I'm so excited about trying Exante as have never done this kind of diet before. Am v worried about being hungry all the time though with the not eating anything....is it as bad as I think it's going to be or is it just the case that I need to get my head around the fact that I'm not going to be eating solids & that's that!!
Do any of u guys just have the shakes alone or do u mix with the bars/soups etc? Xx

Hi and welcome to the board. There are a number of people using just shakes. I personally use shakes and soups but no bars. Its really just a case of doing whatever works for you. I need the soups for the savoury as the idea of living on purely sweet stuff does nothing for me.

You will probably get into ketosis sometime between day 3-5 which curbs most of the hunger pangs. Its too high in carbs for me so I dont actually get into ketosis using the packs but cant say I suffer too much from hunger anyway, its more a case of missing the physical aspect of eating. Might be worth doing a few days low carb before starting. That way you can get into ketosis without getting hungry and then you would already be there once youre in it.

I only have chocolate and vanilla shakes

I have to say I feel much better healthwise and a lot less hungry when I'm on Exante than on normal food (once you're into ketosis). It feels really good. Just make sure you drink water regularly to keep yourself hydrated - you'll need to drink more fluid than you currently do, as you will get quite a lot of fluid through normal food at the moment. But once you're having enough water it feels brilliant.

Good luck with it, I hope the packs make it through the snow and that you can start after Christmas.
Good luck xx

Ive been doing relatively healthy eating the past couple of weeks and will be back on Exante on Jan 2nd, to be perfectly honest, it cant come soon enough!
